Liu Mei began to explain.
"This school focuses on merit, and those who don't meet the standards are naturally expelled. So the dropout rate here is very, very high, but those who graduate are basically very good chefs."
"Therefore, during every assessment or training camp, students may face the risk of being expelled for not performing well."
"So this is completely reasonable. I am a very tolerant and generous person. I will let them go as long as they do not exceed 80 shortcomings."
"Of course, there's a prerequisite: you have to do it with your heart."
The girls were puzzled after hearing this. 80 shortcomings should be a lot, so how come there was such a big chance that half of the people were turned down?
Faced with the girls' puzzled looks, Ruiye gave them an answer. After all, having been with Lin Qi, she naturally understood why he was doing this.
"You may have misunderstood. The main point is that no matter how high-level or low-level your dish is, the first thing you have to do is put your heart into it."
"Then, for example, when you're making noodles, the cooking time, the number of times you turn them, the amount of salt you add, every little detail is a mistake. For example, if you add too much salt, that's a mistake. Or, if you leave the noodles exposed to the outside for too long, that's a mistake. If you rinse them a few seconds too late or too little, that's also a mistake."
"Moreover, I suspect that those people will not do something that is so simple; they will make mistakes and there will be more misunderstandings."
After Ruiye finished speaking to these people, the way they looked at Lin Qi instantly changed; this guy was a devil.
You really are a devil!
The senior in black stockings seemed to recall the grueling training methods someone had used to teach her writing and help her improve her skills, and she couldn't help but shudder.
"There's nothing I can do about it. It's not my fault. After all, there are elimination quotas. I just use them more often. And unlike others, I don't restrict those people. I let them do their own thing. So in a sense, I'm the least strict one."
"For example, do you remember the chef from the Fog House, who was in the same classroom as me?"
Lin Qi looked at Ruiye and thought for a moment before vaguely recognizing her.
"I remember now, it's that older sister who makes really delicious Japanese food."
"That's right, the other person is here too, and right next to mine. Do you know what their test was?"
May became instantly excited upon hearing those two words.
"I know that, I know that!"
"The Kiriya was founded by Hinako Inui, a graduate of Totsuki Academy and known as the Mist Empress."
"I've always wanted to go, but the problem is that you need to make a reservation."
“Even if I made a special trip there, I might not be able to get an appointment for that time, so I haven’t gone.”
May was filled with disappointment when she got to this point.
"That person, apart from the most basic things like oil and salt, has to prepare everything else himself. For example, ingredients, there are artificial gardens, but he has to catch them himself. Even special seasonings, he has to find the relevant plants to make them."
"So you think I'm not kind enough? I gave them all the ingredients."
"So I don't think there's anything wrong with my behavior."
After Lin Qi finished speaking, these people were speechless, or they said that 217 was right.
After chatting for a while, Lin Qi and the others went to work, since they still had work to do that night.
However, after patrolling a few laps, I started to slack off. To be honest, I wasn't very interested in this kind of thing. Anyway, there was a sous chef helping out here, so I didn't have to ask anyone for help. Dojima Gin had already spoken to me, so Lin Qi could happily slack off.
I was thinking of taking a bath since I had nothing to do, but I ran into someone and they seemed to want to take a bath too.
"Hey, Erina, what are you doing here so soon? Were you slacking off?"
"Qi... Qi Jun..."
Erina never expected to run into Lin Qi, and she was a little flustered, but she was also a little annoyed after hearing what he said.
"What do you mean by 'slacking off'? I did this quickly and skillfully, okay?"
Erina spoke in a very displeased tone.
This guy can claim other things as his own, but he can't question his own abilities.
Erina looked displeased. After saying that, she suddenly crossed her arms and looked at him with a scrutinizing expression.
"As for you, it's such a coincidence that we bumped into each other. I seriously suspect you deliberately came to wait for me."
"After all, I don't believe in such coincidences!"
Chapter 350 I never expected you to be such a perverted woman, you actually got the wrong idea!
Erina was currently sizing up Lin Qi in front of her.
I have to say, it feels like this is true. After all, it's hard to put into words how similar this behavior is. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
Erina hadn't forgotten that this guy knew the plot, and if he knew the plot, there was a good chance he would come specifically to wait for her.
So at this moment she couldn't help but have doubts, after all, this guy really seemed like the kind of person who could do such a thing, and you know he's not a good person.
Faced with the questioning gaze of the other party, and looking into those violet-like eyes, Lin Qi immediately curled his lip.
"Hehe, don't you think you're overthinking it?"
"Is it really necessary to do this? Why would I just carry you away if I wanted to? And stop time here?"
Lin Qi blurted out a completely true statement, which infuriated the other party, who immediately glared at Lin Qi fiercely.
"satyr!"
Erina could only curse at Lynch's words before turning to leave, forgetting that she had run into a persistent nuisance.
"Hey, hey, don't go! It's rare for us to run into each other."
At this moment, Lin Qi put his arm around the other person's shoulder and said these words with a smile. If others saw this, they would definitely be extremely surprised.
After all, the other party is the infamous Tongue of God, who is full of contempt for everyone, yet he is so intimate with someone and doesn't seem to mind this behavior, or rather, it seems like he's used to it.
"Don't you know what shame is? Pulling and tugging like that in public, I have my own dignity too."
"And what you just said seems to have revealed your true intentions. I'm starting to suspect you did it on purpose. After all, given the current situation, I really can't think of any other possibility besides this."
Erina glanced at the hand resting on her shoulder and promptly made a sarcastic remark.
"And you, you big pervert, don't even think about it."
"Don't forget where you are. This is a fused world. If someone were to barge in, what would become of my reputation? And who would want to be with you?"
"I know exactly who you are."
Erina said that she knew who he was, and that she might have to finish the picture today, so she definitely had to refuse.
After hearing what the other person said, Lin Qi did not let go of the hand that was hitting the other person's shoulder. Instead, he continued to move closer and shamelessly slapped him.
"Oh dear, don't do that!"
"If you're worried about someone coming in, I can pause time. As for your concerns, I promise I won't do it. After all, you have other things to do these next few days. I'm not someone who can't tell what's important. It just so happens that we're taking a soak in a hot spring."
When Erina heard this guy's shameless words, she immediately tried to shake off his hand.
However, after shaking it a few times and realizing I couldn't shake it off, I felt embarrassed.
"Get the hell out of here right now. Your credibility is zero at this point. Don't forget that you always say you won't do anything, but every time you leave, my mouth is swollen."
Erina stated that her boyfriend's credibility with her was completely ruined.
Lin Qi knew the other party would resist or rather, wouldn't agree. Suddenly, he hoisted the person up on his shoulder, like carrying a pig, and carried them away.
At first, Erina was a little confused, but after she came to her senses, she immediately started kicking her legs up and punching Lynch’s back while shouting in an exaggerated tone.
"idiot!"
"You bastard! What do you mean, 'Let me go right now'? Believe me or I'll scream!"
Although Erina was saying whether she believed him or not, she was actually already shouting.
Lin Qi didn't care about the other party's behavior, and instead spoke with a smile.
"Go ahead and scream, no one will come to save you even if you scream your lungs out."
At this moment, Lin Qi looked exactly like a villain, which infuriated this arrogant guy.
At the same time, the other party was also afraid, after all, if someone really saw it, then they would be finished, and their voice immediately softened.
"Please let me go, okay? We can talk this out. There's no need for people to see us like this. I think we're going to be in big trouble."
Lin Qi noticed that the other person's voice had softened, and he stopped teasing them.
"Don't worry, I've already stopped time. It won't be lifted unless someone stronger than me comes along."
Erina breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; it was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. At the same time, she was a little annoyed. Why didn't he say so earlier? Did he make her soften her tone beforehand?
"You big pervert, put me down right now. Even if time stops, it won't work. I'm not mentally prepared yet."
Erina assumed that this guy surnamed Lin was going to use his time-stopping ability to do bad things, so she stopped talking nonsense at this point.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi pursed his lips and then spoke in a very helpless tone.
"What are you thinking, you little pervert? I just want you to keep me company while I take a bath. Since we've run into each other, why not keep me company? You know how many people came, and they're all doing their own thing. I feel a bit awkward being all alone. After all, with my status, I'm supposed to be with several beautiful girls, but I'm all alone. This situation makes me feel really uncomfortable. Luckily, you're here, so come keep me company."
At this moment, Lin Qi blurted out a blunt truth. After all, he was really annoyed. With his status, he had to go to the bath alone, and he might even have to go with some muscular guy. So, thinking about this, he was averse to men from the bottom of his heart. When he saw a beautiful girl, not to mention that she was his first girlfriend on the surface, why would he be polite?
Erina understood what this guy was thinking and immediately got angry.
"Baka! You're using me as a substitute!"
Erina was furious, even a little aggrieved. The tone of his voice implied that he was just grabbing anyone because he had no one else to keep him company—it was blatantly irresponsible. It was infuriating!
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi immediately spoke up with righteous indignation.
"How could that be? You're not some kind of substitute for me at all. From the beginning, I was just thinking of checking on you while I was taking a bath. If you were done, I would bring you over. But I didn't expect to run into you here. That saved me a lot of trouble. So you've been my target from the very beginning."
"After all, you're my girlfriend. Who else would I talk to if not you?"
When Lynch said this, his tone was full of a sense of entitlement.
"Heh heh, how many people did you bring? Bringing so many people, and still talking about your girlfriend, don't you feel ashamed?"
Erina felt that the word sounded incredibly sarcastic coming from this guy's mouth.
After all, a focused person would feel perfectly justified saying those words and be fully worthy of them. But those who know her situation understand. Saying those three words made her feel incredibly sarcastic, as if she were wearing several hats on her head.
Instead of giving a direct answer, Lin Qi smiled and said something that almost broke her nerve.
"I didn't expect you to be such a jealous person."
Erina immediately bristled when she heard this.
"You jealous bastard!"
